US: Developer and operator Core Spaces has launched Oxenfree, a brand for the company’s premier singe family BTR platform.
Oxenfree communities will be located in fast-growing markets across the US, including Denver, Dallas, Austin, Nashville and Charlotte. Its first developments are scheduled to start on site in Princeton, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee, in summer 2024.
Oxenfree has an identified pipeline that represents nearly 8,000 units.
Founded on the principles of “new (sub)urbanism”, Oxenfree communities will be centred around walkable neighbourhoods, shared spaces and integration with the natural landscape. “Each community will be designed to empower residents with elevated experiences, tasteful amenities, and refined finishes,” says the company.
“Oxenfree neighbourhoods will offer the convenience of maintenance-free multi-family living, with all the benefits of a single-family lifestyle,” it adds.
“As more generations make the conscious shift from city to suburban living, the single-family home sector is poised for greater disruption and growth than has ever been possible,” said Dan Goldberg, president, Core Spaces. “We’re thrilled to introduce Oxenfree, to not only alleviate the strain from the lack of housing supply in growing, gateway cities, but also to provide residents across the country with a greater sense of community. We’ve spent years listening, researching, investing and innovating to deliver communities with spaces designed to provide everything residents need, at any stage of life.”
Core’s design-build approach will create four different home categories, including single-family homes and townhomes in three distinct styles: modern farmhouse, warm industrial, and contemporary. Oxenfree will offer varying rental price points with an emphasis on both affordable and higher-end units to cater to a mix of residents.
“We’ve all seen it or lived it. Stacked apartments, thin walls, noisy upstairs neighbors, or parking that’s too far away. When you think about it, this has become the standard of living,” said Marc Lifshin, founder, Core Spaces. “We built Oxenfree to challenge expectations and reflect the ways we all wish to live today. This is the future of living.”
